We joined the 10 days tour by Druk Asia / SoulTrips as a family & friends group of 9. We all have a wonderful & memorable experience in Bhutan. Special thanks to Sonam Younten (travel specialist), ChenCho Lham (tour guide) and Passang Tshering (driver). The communication and booking process was very responsive and smooth with Sonam. We basically followed the recommended itinerary and it was great.

A last minute request to split the group to separately stay in hotel and home stay for a night was also fulfilled. Just the night prior to our departure from Singapore, one of us encountered a problem and might not be able to catch the flight. Sonam helped us to search for alternative flight option with clear action step and cost implication. His prompt response gave us a sense of security and a peace of mind. At the end, lucky that we managed to get on the plane altogether.

Chencho, our guide, was cheerful, friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, passionate, extremely responsible & caring throughout our entire journey. Her explanations really helped us understand and appreciate Bhutan beyond just seeing the beautiful scenery, lovely people, traditional architectures, grand fortresses and monasteries. She patiently answered all the questions we have. She would even consult a monk when she was unsure about the meaning of the paintings in a monastery before explaining to us.

Her professionalism was appreciated. We are a group with different physical levels, Chencho was always attentive to the needs of each of us. During our hikes, she made sure that nobody was left behind and was always mindful of everyone's pace & safety. On one occasion, some of us went for a massage in the downtown area and later had difficulty getting a taxi.

Chencho went the extra mile to borrow a car from her friend and drove us back to hotel. Another evening, one of us suddenly felt like vomiting at around 9pm. Chencho, together with our driver Passang Tshering, immediately accompanied him to the hospital to make sure he was seen by a doctor and received the necessary medication to ease his discomfort. She proactively requested hotel to prepare chicken soup for him, too.

Passang is a very skilful, experienced & confident driver with 22 years of experience. Throughout the whole journey, we felt very safe & comfortable. We were amazed to see how he smoothly past through all the narrow roads, especially when there were cars coming from the opposite direction. We secretly admired his relaxing one-handed steering skill on the highway. His ease to make sharp turns was also amazing to see.

Passang also has very sharp eyes to spot snake, monkeys, birds, deer while driving. Happy surprises & photo time for us. 😇 Once again, our warm and sincere thanks 💕 to Sonam, ChenCho & Passang.

Highly recommended Druk Asia / SoulTrips.
